Product Description

As comfy as a t-shirt but it’s a dress. The Bella dress is made from super soft 100% organic cotton knit and is a relaxed fit.  The top fits just like your favourite Good Tee but it has a gathered skirt from above the waist with two tiers. And of course, there is a generously sized pocket in each side seam.

The dress pictured has long sleeves with a contrasting fabric for the sleeves. You can also choose to have a short sleeve. 

You can choose a ribbing colour for the wrist band or choose to have the sleeve hemmed instead of ribbing.  The neckband can be in the same fabric as the dress or you can choose a ribbing colour instead.

The Bella dress is similar to the Izzy dress, the only difference being it has 2 tiers whereas the Izzy dress has 1 tier in the gathered skirt.

The amazing Pedals+Plants print on the body of the tee is by Yesterday Collection. The contrast sleeve in Pretty Polka is by tasiania.  Here's what Kathryn from Yesterday Collection had to say about the inspiration for her design:

"This began with the idea to do a design that included bicycles somehow.  I didn't want to go the sporty route with it, so I got inspired by all the houseplants I had recently bought since it had just turned to Spring here in the USA.  I imagined girls delivering all these plants around town in cute dresses and big sunglasses on retro bikes, because why not?  I just love plants and gardening, so that's a theme that often shows up in my designs.  My motto as a designer is "when in doubt, throw a plant on it!""

  • Crew neckline with optional contrasting band
  • Gathered skirt under the bustline with two tiers
  • Thick 10 cm ribbed wrist band ( or you can choose to not have a band)
  • 2 side pockets, each fits a large phone and more!
  • Pullover (no zips or buttons)
  • 100% organic cotton knit
  • Customise the length and ribbing option and colour

Fabric: 100% certified organic cotton with an interlock knit construction that has been printed using ecologically-safe technology. This excludes the trims which are a variety of compositions (the majority % is usually cotton).

Sizing: The dress on the mannequin is a size 16 with the LONG SLEEVE IN GREEN HATCH and DENIM BLUE bands.  Refer to the Sizing link below for measurements.

As all our garments are cut and sewn by hand, there may be variation in size (1-2cms) and print placement. Colours appear differently on device screens so there may be a slight difference in the real fabric.

Availability: Your garment is MADE TO ORDER with love and care and is usually sent in 3-4 weeks.   Please refer to the Delivery Updates page for the latest information.  Don't worry, it'll be worth the wait! 

Customisation:  Want it a bit longer? A bit shorter? No problem.  We can shorten or lengthen the dress and/or sleeve up to 5 cm at no extra cost.  Just select your size above and then when you get to the Shopping Cart, please add a note in the "special instructions" field with the length you require.  Refer to the Sizing link below for standard measurements.
If you'd like to make any further customisations to the neckband, armband or sleeve fabric please contact us before ordering.

 

Care: We recommend turning the garment inside out and using a cold or warm hand wash or delicate setting machine wash using phosphate-free detergent. Hang to dry in the shade. Iron on the reverse side of the fabric.  There may be some fading of the prints especially on designs that have large solid colour shapes. This is usual for pigment printed fabrics and can be minimised with hand washing and line drying.

Fabric design: The designer of our “Pedals+Plants” print is Yesterday Collection.

What sizes do we offer?
Our garments are offered in sizes 6-20.

However, one of our specialties is to customise garments just for you.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss customisations if the below sizing doesn't work for you.

Sizing Chart

The below is our standard sizing chart for the patterns that we currently have.
All measurements are taken with the garment laid flat and measured in centimetres.

The most important measurement is the Bust. When measuring the garments this is taken across the front from the underarm seam on one side to the other side.
Remember you can always change the length of the garment so just make sure the bust measurement is a little bigger than your actual bust.

 If you're on Instagram we have some IGTV showing how the dresses fit.

So beautiful!

I ordered a Bella dress in Pedals & Plants with custom colored sleeves and ribbing (pink bubbles). It’s a beautifully made dress, so soft and comfy and so different so anything else I’ve seen. Love it!
